So it turns out Godaddy is a really, really bad hosting company. My site got infected and was acting as a warez fileserver, as far as I can tell. And there were frequent redirects to Russian sites and the odd spyware warning here and there. Turns out it was one PHP file and one htaccess file doing all the damage.
I think it’s all removed now, here’s hoping. And the new host seems to suck less. I won’t plug ‘em until I’m sure they’re decent.
Moved hosts, didn’t move the database. Until today, at least.
So it’s back. Does it mean I’ll update any more frequently? Very likely, no.
But hi. To both of you.
You ever have that thing where you’ve got a thing and you can’t do anything about that thing without another thing happening? I’ve got that right now, but times…I don’t know, fourteen. It’s terrible.
Today’s project is clearing off a web server, turning off dead old sites and backing them up. You know–maintenance. At any rate, as I’m scrolling through the directories of the sites (and thanks to Folder Size for the help), looking at anything large that can probably go, and there I see a folder exactly 32,768 KB in size, which, because I’m a dork, I recognize as 2 15.
Between this and my game with friends on Tuesday of recalling a disconcertingly large number of large cities’ area codes (I can also usually figure out what state you were born in if you give me the first three digits of your SSN, if it’s California, I can sometimes guess the year), I’m thinking perhaps I need to get out more. Just maybe.
Outlook has “guesstimate” in its dictionary, but not “Youtube”. Granted, it is the 2003 version (which predates Youtube), but you would think there’d been a patch at some point.
Guesstimate. Really.
Exhibit A: Firefox, open with 6 tabs, light usage, closed frequently, 330 MB of memory.
Exhibit B: Opera, open with 8 tabs, heavy use, 150 or so tabs in history that can be reopened quickly from a convenient menu, built-in IMAP client, never closed, 59 MB of memory.
The memory leaks are fixed? Mmkay.
While updating a DNS record, I had to change a “.com” to read “.info.” for just a moment, it read “infocom”. I smiled a little at this.
This is where I'd tell you a little about myself if I was so inclined. But I'm not right now. » This doesn't work yet either.
